I think its rad that both exist. Fight me. I swap between the two constantly. Sometimes I buy/sell etsy type shit. Sometimes I buy/sell Escobar type shit. If all bigwig companies/politicians had to transact on a public ledger- good. If my broke ass can transact privately and immutably- also good. Some transactions, for the betterment of the world, should be public- and conversely, mine should be private lol

They can ban all they’d like. To your point it seems tantamount to stating that crime is illegal.

I’d look into graphene or calyx, they’re privacy oriented android roms. the websites have lists of supported devices. I usually get a refurbished pixel a few generations old and use it until it literally falls apart
